New Year; New Semester; New Friends

So I know its been awhile since I've posted anything. sorry about that.

Well i'm now in my second semester in college. classes are going well. I am taking 5 classes, 14 credits: Book of Mormon part 2; World Civ to 1500's; International Relations (a poly sci class); Humanities: Homer to Tolkien; and the required math course. My classes require a ton of reading, but it is manageable.

My roommates are fun. There is Sam, who is in the same room as me. And Audrey and Michelle who are in the other room. We are good friends with the dorm right next to us, so at all hours of the day and night girls will be walking back and forth from one room to the other. Our dorm is considered the study room and theirs is the party room, mainly just because it is usually 10x quieter here. but we all have fun :)

Next semester (Spring) I'll be living off-campus with my best friends Lauren and Amber. They were my dorm-mates last semester.

It is nearing the end of January and since being back from Christmas Break it has sprinkled snow twice. This whole past week it was actually raining, no snow. I've heard that is very unusual for winter's in Rexburg. I'm actually wishing for at least a couple inches of snow to go sledding and to have an illegal snowball fight (yes snowball fights are illegal in Rexburg, Idaho. dont ask me why). I went sledding for the very first time a couple weeks ago and it was so much fun! I had a blast. Sledding later turned into the first snowball fight i'd ever been in as well.

There isnt much else to share. I've met a couple new cute guys this semester, but none seem interested so I dont really care. I have been focusing more on school instead.
Oh also my new favorite tv show is The Vampire Diaries hehe :) just ask Lauren... I'm super addicted.

Sorry no pictures to post.

Adventures in December

Looking For the Bell Tower at BYUi.

Towards the beginning of our adventure, my friend, Nico, and I came across a frozen over pond in the gardens that are at BYUi. I was super excited about it because, I, being from California, southern California at that, had never seen a frozen pond. It was a thing of movies. So of course we had to stop and play :) Nico ran to the edge first and walked on cautiously seeing if it would break. He even stomped his foot. When it didn't break or even crack he motioned for me to join him and we started sliding and skidding across the ice pond. It was so much fun! These are a few pictures.

I did not catch his actual fall on camera. But he reenacted himself falling down so I could get a picture of him :)

We didn't ever find the bells but we had lots of fun on the pond!

We also went on a couple other adventures but there isn't enough room to post about all of the day. 

Until next time :)

Week 9 of College

This week was a very long one.
But lets focus on the good stuff :) Last night Amber's guy friend came over and took Lauren, Mac, and I to the Paramount to see Contagion. The movie about diseases spreading around the world with Matt Damon in it. It was really good!


When I woke up this morning, apparently it was "blizzarding" (i didn't see it, that is just what my roommates said). Now there is more snow on the ground! I get to make George Jr. By the natural causes of snow melting combined with a foot, my first snowman, George died. Also sometime during the night my pumpkin that I set outside disappeared... oh well.

Classes are going well.

I cannot wait to go home and sleep in my bed in my blue room on my queen sized bed! or to cuddle with my cat, Prince. I hope he hasn't forgotten about me. I miss the view, if someone could take a picture of Valley Center hills/mountains and send it to me, that would be amazing! I miss going to Friday Night Football games. I miss my mother's cooking, my dad's hug. Coming home from school or some activity and seeing my dad playing some Lego Wii game :P haha i miss playing Country Dance and MarioKart against Rachel. I miss driving, oh i miss that so much! Driving 55 - 60 down Lilac Rd. I wonder if my parents will let me drive at all when I see them at Thanksgiving??? :))))

Last Sunday my roommates and I made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies: here are the pictures.

SNOW PICTURES!!!

These are some pictures of me actually playing in snow! Ya I know many of you thought I would never play in it. Well personally thats what I thought... haha but enjoy!

(Thank you Lauren for taking pictures on your camera!)

IT SNOWED!!!

This is the second snowfall of the year! It started yesterday and it is still snowing out there. I caught a snowflake on my tongue for the first time EVER! It was quite difficult. They make it look a lot easier in the movies... But also the snowflakes weren't very big and when they did get bigger, I hid my face cause they were getting all over me and freezing my nose off. The first snowfall was at the beginning of October and it snowed while I was in class so I didn't see it. I think this snow is here to stay for all of winter. I have seen more snow in the last 24 hours than I have seen in my entire life!!! I haven't decided whether I like it much or not. I did discover that snow makes a crunching noise when you step on it and I enjoyed walking on the snow covered grass a ton last night. 

College Life!

Well, these first couple months of college have been interesting. At the beginning of October, it snowed for the first time... That made me miss home sweet home (California).

This past week my roommates and I went about making a two story fort out of our two couches, our table, and 3 sheets. It was very successful, but we weren't too sure our Head Resident would be happy about it since the couches were tipped on their sides... So we went on to make a very much lamer fort with just two couches and 1 sheet... and only one story, the ground. So that was lots of fun :)

Not too sure what else to write.

I am surviving in this cold place for now.... I miss the hills of my home, the Santa Anna winds, the 80 degree weather, not having to cook my own food haha :P

I have only been on dates with three different guys so far, and I do not believe I will be asked on anymore dates by those guys. 1 of them got a girlfriend, another I only saw as a friend, the last my parents disapprove of...

For Halloween I went to the Haunted Mill and it was SUPER SCARY! for the first half that is :) then i kinda started to become immune to the people jumping out at me and i would just say hello to them haha

Well if you want to ask me any questions... I'm sure there is a way to comment on people's blogs here... I'm new at this. otherwise ask me over facebook.
